Excercise 1.3 (1) Line

The above images create a sense of depth that allow your vision to wander ‘through’ the photographs. In the first picture, the strong foreground shape helps to accentuate depth by creating a ‘starting point’ to the meandering stream. Layers of foliage and trees become fainter at the back of the third image to create a sense of distance.

This ariel image taken in the Adirondacks by photographer Manish Mamtani shows how the line of perspective increases more as the road follows parallel to the river.
